[Dann of Thursday]

Spoiler for Chapter 200:

Bait and switch.

I suppose in a way it is rather disappointing to take a somewhat interesting development like that and simply reverse it, but it may be better to not have it become too huge of a focus.

That being said, we learned some more about assimilation and it seems it is a gradual process and the more you do it, the more it becomes permanent. Mor still has an interest in it as well though Mar seems to be warning against it and citing (probably correctly) that Alibaba would not wish her to do such a thing.

I half-wondered if perhaps it was Garda who was actually female, but didn't think Ali would want that misunderstanding to happen. I guess he was willing to do so.

But seriously, the entire time I'm listening to him talk about there not being anyone yet I'm thinking of that scene from chapter 81.

Looks like next week is a break as well.
